The Private Equity Roll-Up of HVAC: What the Numbers Actually Show
PE deal share jumped from 8% to 23% in one year. Here's what HVAC contractors need to know about the consolidation wave reshaping their industry.
Talk24 understands your business: qualifying leads, capturing job details, and converting website visitors into customers with professional excellence.





Talk24 is AI-powered client intake software designed specifically for local service businesses. Unlike generic chatbots or traditional answering services, Talk24 understands your industry, qualifies leads based on your criteria, and captures complete intake information through natural conversation—around the clock, in multiple languages.
Local service businesses face a fundamental challenge: 78% of customers hire the first business that responds, yet most businesses take hours or even days to follow up on website leads. During nights, weekends, and holidays, potential customers encounter contact forms and voicemail—and move on to competitors who engage immediately.
AI intake software solves this by providing instant engagement whenever prospects reach out. When a homeowner's AC breaks down at midnight, or someone needs an emergency plumber on a Sunday evening, Talk24 is there—having a real conversation, not displaying a form.
Talk24 embeds on your website as a chat widget. When visitors engage, the AI conducts a natural intake conversation tailored to your business:
By morning, your team doesn't have a list of names and numbers—they have qualified leads with complete context, ready for meaningful follow-up conversations.
Different industries have different intake requirements—and Talk24 adapts accordingly:
Capture HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing leads 24/7. Collect job details, property information, and urgency level. Perfect for emergency calls that come in after hours.
Qualify cases based on practice area criteria. Capture incident details, injury information, and case specifics. Includes attorney advertising compliance.
Schedule consultations and capture patient inquiries. Handle appointment requests, insurance questions, and new patient intake with HIPAA-conscious design.
Collect project details, square footage, timelines, and budget ranges. Qualify leads before your team invests time in estimates. Available when customers need you most.
In many markets, a significant portion of customers prefer to communicate in a language other than English. Spanish-speaking communities, in particular, are underserved by businesses that can't engage in their preferred language.
Talk24 provides native multilingual support in English, Spanish, and Chinese—not machine translation, but fluent conversation. When a customer types in Spanish, they receive responses in natural, culturally appropriate Spanish. This builds trust from the first interaction and captures leads that language barriers would otherwise lose.
Businesses implementing AI intake typically see significant improvements in lead capture and conversion:
For a service business, capturing just one additional job per month through after-hours intake can represent thousands in additional revenue—far exceeding the cost of AI intake software.
How does Talk24 compare to other intake solutions?
